Please detail any 5.7.1 upgrade issues here

[Silent-Runner]

Have noticed that the pages displaying the various subforums seem cached and may not reflect the actual last post, etc. mostly the uppermost forum page.

yeah, that too

Lately getting this error almost everytime, sometimes the post gets through, sometimes not.

Looking into it. Not sure what the real cause is there.

[andino]

When I come on I get this at the top of the screen...

"Warning: Undefined array key "lastactivity" in phar://.../vb/vb.phar/api/wol.php on line 132 Warning: Undefined array key "lastactivity" in phar://.../vb/vb.phar/api/wol.php on line 132 Warning: Undefined array key "lastactivity" in phar://.../vb/vb.phar/api/wol.php on line 132 "

[andino]

Also, why is the site so slow? It used to be much more snappy.. Now it feels like it's running off of a 5 1/4 floppy drive...

[andino]

Now I'm getting this above the login section...

Yeah not entire sure yet why it's so sluggish, but we are aware and looking at it.

I get this as well. Also aware, but not sure whats causing it yet.

Is the forum dead due to the new "upgrade"?

Asking the real questions here

[metroidfox]

On threads with a lot of pages, loading into the thread brings up the first page, and then putting the last page number into the 'Page x of y' area at the top of the page is incredibly slow, and sometimes just refuses to load page x.

Example thread is Vengie's screenshot one in the PC gaming section.

EDIT: add a way to go to the last page in a thread directly.

Gives the impression of running a new software on old hardware...

[andino]

I kind of wonder what resources this thing uses... It just feels sluggish..

I do believe It's running on both newer and faster hardware as part of the upgrade.

VB5 has been... not as impressive as hoped. It seems to just be just that... sluggish.

[Silent-Runner]

yep, sadly (and surprisingly) a big step backwards in terms of speed.

[koralis]

Posting new messages seems improved over a couple of weeks ago though.

[dodger]

I dunno it's been both good and bad lately as far as posting speed goes. Used to I would notice the db must go into some sorta backup around 4pm CST where the entire site wouldn't respond at all for 10min and if you happen to hit submit during that window you were in for a looong wait. Also it seems channels with sub channels have the most problems updating the main page that you have unreads. I've had plenty of times where it would show Off-Topic was all read, go in anyway and see 2 or 3 threads with new posts.

[KAC]

Half the time I post nothing happens. Then I click post reply again and I either get an error or that this is a duplicate post. Either way I can’t see my post until I go somewhere else and then come back to the thread. Refresh alone does nothing. This is on mobile phone and it is painful.

On Desktop it'll say "Working" in a yellowish box at the top of the window to let you know it's thinking about it. Hopefully mobile has something similar going on.

Ya they listened to the critters complaints and doubled down on giving the gerbil more work to do... Can post quickly as it can take a minute or timeout

Is the forum dead due to the new "upgrade"?

Asking the real questions here

The "upgrade" does appear to have killed it. At least killed it deader than the dead it was at prior

For me, I come here, open a thread, click on the last page number to go to the end of the thread, nothing happens, click it a few more times, nothing happens, then give up and go to another site.

[KAC]

Given how fast the numbers are dwindling maybe a rollback would bring some of those old pups back? Who knows?

[Silent-Runner]

Things getting stranger day by day.

Somehow Kain has my Profile pic here

while his post isn't the last one

So far the "upgrade" really doesn't shines, or does it?

Numbers on Discord are increasing day by day...

[KAC]

Man I gotta try that shite.

[andino]

It seems that the boards are slower today for some reason...

[andino]

6 whole seconds from click of link to page opening... Ugh... That's slow...


EDIT: 15 seconds to post a reply... 2400 baud internet connection?

[A2597]

the go to last post button is in a weird place, would be nice if it could be moved next to thread title. Would help a lot with navigation.

[metroidfox]

Yeah, going to the last post, and perhaps the slowness of posting a reply are probably the two biggest usability issues right now.

Editing is way faster on this version, and all the embedded functionality is cool too.

[Silent-Runner]

i'm getting really tired of the errors, painfully slow loading times, new threads not properly showing up on the overview and so on and so on....

[andino]

It's almost like vBulletin was designed to be ran on a bay of SSDs and we are on a floppy. It just 'feels' slow.

Maybe we should migrate off of the vBulletin software to something else?

[pax]

Not sure if itll work for everyone but I disabled ipv6 after struggling with slow browsers (they are all chromium based now so didnt seem to matter much which one I used but am now on Opera) after googling the issue. Might be subjective but seems the page is working a little better now...

https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeNetwork...wsers_running/

[andino]

There are currently 1487 users online. 12 members and 1475 guests.

Maybe the 1475 guests that are always here are the problem....

[azalea]

This is an extremely minor complaint, but all the posts look new and bare, because the page count that was present before has gone. I know that the number of posts is there, but is there any way of getting the page list below? There were clickable links to 1,2,3,....344 etc.

[andino]

I keep getting "Error 522" when I try to access the site...

[andino]

It took a good minute to post that last post.... This is unreal.... What is killing the speed?

[SubCog]

I'm noticing that old poll results are broken. Example here: https://www.rage3d.com/board/forum/c...-favorite-soda

[KAC]

Will this site ever be fixed? Just asking... I am not getting any younger and this is killing my OCD.

[metroidfox]

For what it's worth, this post took over a minute to submit, and VB threw an error at me after that time. I didn't catch the text in the popup unfortunately.

Something happen over the last few days, site seems almost bearable today.

We think we encountered a space issue. And yes I've noticed that it is considerably faster right now.
